I will be down there for 2 weeks at Christmas and wouldn't mind driving around taking pictures.

Good evening guys, today myself and Ron Wolkoff spent the day buffing in Palm Beach County. We visited Boca Raton, Delray Beach and managed to squeeze in a county station. [Image: thumbsup.gif]



First up is Palm Beach County E52 in Unincorporated Boca Raton.

I was very excited about getting some rigs from Delray Beach Fire Rescue, unfortunately we were only able to knock out two stations...

Ron and I plan to return. [Image: biggrin.gif]



First up is E3, a 2007 Pierce Dash 1500/750



   


FLORIDA RIGS - Guest - 10-05-2009

Next up... Delray Beach Special Ops-5, a 2006 Pierce Dash. I believe I shot this rig previously during the 2008 Winter Thaw, I decided to re-shoot it with some sunlight!! In addition Delray Beach just recieved a 2009 Pierce Velocity Platform, unfortunately it was out of service at the city's shop.



   



That's all for now, hopefully Ron and I will hook-up again this coming weekend.

Thanks Shoop, I'm just about finished with everything in Boca, Special Ops-6 (HazMat) I'll wait till you're down for. We still have Delray Beach to finish off, I definitely want the new velocity platform they just recieved. We're also planning for Boynton Beach, North Palm Beach and Tequesta in the coming weeks.


FLORIDA RIGS - Guest - 10-08-2009

Returning from having minor findings corrected and the radios mounted, Plantation R276 was returned today. I took advantage of the great sunlight and got some better shots.
